Shen Gongbao said, "The land of the Southern Tang Dynasty is a storehouse of rice and grain, where the country is rich and the people are strong. If you go south, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve great things."
Zhao Kuangyin stare blankly way: "oh. In the opinion of a Buddhist. What should it be? "
Shen Gongbao said, "Most of the land in Luzhou in the north is wild. Few people live there. However, the land of Liao is close to Luzhou in Beiju. The emperor can crusade against Liao country first. After the western expedition, Shu. After the Eastern Expedition, Han Dynasty. Finally, the southern expedition to the southern Tang Dynasty. "
Zhao Kuangyin said, "Buddhist. The land of Liao is wild. Even if it is shot down, it is useless. Why do you want to fight Liao first? "
Shen Gongbao said, "Your Majesty. The land of the north. Although close to the wild. But there is also a force. If left unchecked. It must be a trouble in the future. Only unifying the north is the big plan. And there is less harassment from one side. You can also deal with the remaining three countries with all your strength. "
Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "If that’s the case, then why do you have to levy before Shu?"
Shen Gongbao frowned and thought, "Your Majesty. You also know that being original is a monk. Among the three countries. The power behind the land of Shu is the weakest. Moreover, fighting before Shu can also attract the help of immortals. Therefore, the land of Houshu will be selected first. "
Zhao Kuangyin also understands that the Gods of the Three Realms are everywhere, and they usually don’t appear. But sometimes it’s necessary to enter the world of mortals, just like the present situation. Zhao Kuangyin naturally won’t ask more questions. Since the Buddhist came to help himself, he won’t talk nonsense at will, which will make sense.
Zhao Kuangyin said, "In that case, everything is left to the Buddhist. At the behest of the Buddhist master, I made you the Grand Marshal of the Military Forces, with full authority to preside over the Northern Expedition. "
Shen Gongbao thanked him and said, "I obey your orders." Shen Gongbao took the army all the way north. Go to the north.
Previously, the expansion of the post-Shu land stopped the eastward expedition because of the balance of the four countries. However, shortly after the Northern Expedition of Song, Shu immediately sent troops to attack Song. In a state of emergency, Zhao Kuangyin immediately sent Zhao Guangyi to lead the troops against Houshu.
Zhao Guangyi led the resistance against the army of Houshu, but it was a pity that Houshu had the help of a monk, but Song didn’t have the help of a monk. The army led by Zhao Guangyi couldn’t stop the attack of Houshu at all, and retreated one after another, allowing Houshu to enter the border of Song. Zhao Kuangyin received the grand report and hurriedly went out of the palace to Xiaoyaoju to inquire for He Ming.
Now that Zhao Kuangyin has become emperor, He Ming is no longer ostentatious, so he is allowed to go directly to the mansion, please go to the study. Zhao Kuangyin said, "Young Jun, the military situation is urgent now. Please help me." Said the general machine file out.
He Ming waved his hand and said, "That thing is unnecessary. I already knew about the defeat yesterday."
Zhao Kuangyin a surprised, suddenly remind of He Ming means borne, can know it in advance too much. Zhao Kuangyin said, "Young Jun, what should we do now?"
He Ming leisurely sitting at a desk, picked up a cup of green tea and tasted it. When Zhao Kuangyin saw this, he knew he was too impulsive. He quickly calmed his mind and said, "Young Jun, after that, with the help of monks in Shu, our army couldn’t resist it at all, so please take action."
He Ming took a sip of tea and smiled slightly. "The emperor doesn’t have to worry. Since monks took part in the war in Shu, there will naturally be monks to help the emperor. It’s just that Buddhist teachers have gone to the north now, and I’m afraid those monks won’t come forward until Buddhist teachers come back."
Zhao Kuangyin said, "If the Buddhist comes back, I’m afraid my DaSong will be finished."
He Ming sneered: "You are the emperor to whom the destiny belongs. Who dares to let you destroy the country? The worst result is that the Song Kingdom only stays in the north, so why should you worry?"
Zhao Kuangyin exclaimed, "Land of the North! Can’t we just be forced to that wild place? "
He Ming Dow: "In fact, there is no way out. As long as you kill someone with a knife, this trouble can naturally be resolved."
Zhao Kuangyin said, "Young Jun, where is this knife now?"
He Ming smiled and pointed to the east, saying, "If things don’t agree, it’s a knife, and if things don’t agree, it’s good. As long as you can find help from Nantang, the troubles in the later Shu can be solved naturally. However, going to Nantang for help is a bit troublesome, and the chance of success is very low. "
Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Yes, although Nantang and my DaSong are neighbors, the land of Houshu is separated from Nantang, so it is difficult to ask them for help. Can Shaojun think of another way? "
He Ming pondered for a moment and said, "All right, I’ll go for a walk."
Zhao Kuangyin said, "Thank you, young gentleman, for your trouble."
He Ming Dow: "After I leave, you don’t have to worry about the war, just keep everything steady. Even if you fail, you will always turn over in the future."
Zhao Kuangyin left He Ming an imperial edict, and immediately set out to arrange everything after returning from Xiaoyaoju, so that Zhao Guangyi could stall the army of Houshu.
He Ming came to the northern land with Bai Jingjing. At the moment, Shen Gongbao was leading an army against the Liao army. The scene of the engagement between the two armies was really shocking, but there was an expert in the Liao army, and Shen Gongbao led an army against the Liao army, but it was only a draw.
After the armistice between the two armies, He Ming came to the army, and Shen Gongbao quickly ordered someone to set up a hut. Shen Gongbao invited He Ming to sit down in the hut and asked, "What do you mean by Taoist friends coming?"
He Ming handed Zhao Kuangyin’s imperial edict to Shen Gongbao, saying, "The Buddhist was trapped in this northern land, so we can see that the West was in chaos in the Great Song Dynasty. After reading the imperial edict, Shen Gongbao thought for a moment and said," Later Shu sent troops. It seems that Buddhism has seized the opportunity. I am afraid that this monk in the Liao country is also a Buddhist. "
He Ming Dow: "Since the Buddhist teacher is trapped in the north by the Liao army, I will relieve the troubles of the Liao country this time, so that the Buddhist teacher can return to the DPRK as soon as possible to resist the post-Shu army."
Shen Gongbao said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, but I’m afraid it’s hard for me to leave this Liao country as long as I don’t get rid of it."
He Ming thought for a moment and said, "All right, I will crusade against Liao instead of the Buddhist, so that the Buddhist can get out as soon as possible. It’s just that there are countless talented people in the back of Shu, and the Buddhist needs to invite some helpers."
Shen Gongbao said, "What Daoyou said is that the military situation is urgent now, and this place depends entirely on Daoyou."
